(3) K-3 Written in a folksy, colloquial style, this biography touches briefly on Ellington's childhood, then concentrates on his development as a pianist, orchestra leader, and innovator of American music. The warmly colored, exquisitely designed scratchboard illustrations have a grand time evoking the sounds of Ellington's music. Back matter includes further biographical information and a videography--but no discography. Bib.
